Sunbeam Recalls Mixers Over Shock Risk

August 29, 1990

Sunbeam Appliance Co. of Milwaukee is recalling 1,400 mixers found to have a risk of severe electric shock. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the counter-top mixers can cause severe shock if motors and other electrical components shift through shipping or handling and come in contact with the chrome-plated housing. The affected models were distributed from February through April this year and have the model numbers 01930 and 01940. The company, a subsidiary of Oster-Sunbeam appliance, has set up a toll-free telephone number (1-800-441-7068) to help consumers determine if their mixers should be returned.
